Aged just 34, Gabriel Attal has become the youngest prime minister in French history – a strong symbol as President Emmanuel Macron looks to revitalise his weakened government for the second half of his final term.

Attal took over from 62-year-old Elisabeth Borne on Tuesday after a lightning five-month stint as education minister.
